Impedance: Opposition to flow of alternating current (AC).
|
|
Inrush Current: The peak power that a load will draw at the instant that it starts up.

|
Islanding: The condition present when the utility power grid fails and the inverter attempts to power the grid. An inverter which is "islanding protected" senses the loss of AC power from the grid and does not back feed into the grid system.
